Confusion and infatuation in fact do not alter the catch rate in any way.
What makes a Pokémon easier to catch?
You'll need to use the best Pokeballs, lower the HP of your target Pokémon as much as possible, and use status effects like Sleep or Paralyze. Sometimes, using specialty Pokeballs like Net Balls or Dusk Balls will make capturing certain Pokémon easier, but in my experience, it's all about HP and status effects.
